After graduating college in 2016, I traded products for construction in a company, but in September of that year, I quit the job. Currently, I work in a restaurant part time because I'm helping my parents run our family business also. I like meeting, talking and drinking with people. They say I'm stereotyped Japanese person(has hospitality, punctual and polite), but I'm more optimistic, and always looking for something new.
I'm trying to be an ikebana artist(Japanese flower arrangement) in order to spread it overseas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS makes my simple journey more exciting and extraordinary. I started CS when planning for the cross-country trip in the U.S to get new discovery and to broaden my global sight. I like travelling, and I found this gives me great opportunities to get to know more and more people.

Interests

Travelling, climbing, playing the guitar, eating, watching movies, trying something new, practicing ikebana(Japanese flower arrangement) and sometimes cooking.
For about ikebana, I've practiced more than 10 years. Now I'm thinking of being an ikebana artist not only to take over my parents but to spread in overseas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cross-country trip throughout the U.S for a month! I was excited all the time to explore the unknown world, and it gave me a bunch of ideas.

Teach, Learn, Share

Every time I ask the accormodation, I try to bring maccha green tea for serving my host. I can teach you some Japanese cooking. Because I'm interested in speaking foreign languages, I would like to learn more and more languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travel experiences, movies, music, foods.
If you would like to experience any Japanese cultures or tradition in Osaka, feel free to ask me because we teach ikebana(flower arrangement) & tea ceremony a few in a week. However please don't forget to contact me in advance so that I check the schedule and ask flower shop to get them for you(I try my best, but may not be able to meet your request).
